The Fossil Sport surfaced just over a year ago, bringing tons of features to the Wear OS watch for a reasonable $ 275. Specifications include NFC for Google Pay, GPS, 5-ATM water-resistance, a heart rate monitor and an altimeter. This pre-Black Friday sale lowers the sport (light blue only) to just $ 149, the best price we've seen so far.

Arcade1Up

Most Arcade1Up computers cost about $ 300. This – a three-quarter version of the original – costs $ 165 once it's in your cart. And it looks, sounds and plays just like the old arcade machines. Walmart also offers the Centipede Edition for $ 175.

At this price, the Quantum M series is an absolute high flyer. It delivers superb image quality with deep blacks, accurate colors, and very good 4K HDR performance. And its smart system is phone friendly with Google Cast and Apple AirPlay control.

Walmart also offers a worthwhile offer for the 55-inch model, priced at $ 398.

Since these are sweet TV deals, Best Buy is now offering the top rated TCL 55R615 for an all time low of $ 400. It is not an official Black Friday deal and will expire late on Sunday, October 27, but you can get it as soon as BF approaches.

This is the model 2018; There is a newer one, but do not let that dissuade you. In his TCL 55R615 test, CNET TV guru David Katzmaier described that the 6 Series still offers "the best picture quality for the money". The TV supports both HDR10 and Dolby Vision high dynamic range sources. The picture quality is comparable to that of televisions at twice the cost. And yes, it has Roku installed.

That was first, but try again more often as we update this post due to new offers and availability. In the meantime, here you will find everything you need to know about this great shopping event.

When is the Black Friday 2019?

Black Friday always falls on the day after Thanksgiving. This year it will take place on Friday, November 29th.

When is Cyber ​​Monday 2019?

It falls on the Monday after the black Friday – in this case on Monday, December 2.

When does the Black Friday sale actually begin?

It varies from shop to shop, but it is expected that many sales will start in time before Thanksgiving. In fact, some stores are seeing "Black November" sales throughout the month, while others will prematurely start their Black Friday events. We will post all details as we receive them.

Why is it called "Black Friday"?

This is a borderline urban legend material. Some claim that Black Friday began in the early 1950s when stores started the Christmas shopping season with big sales. In fact, so big that the annual profits in the stores often fall into "black numbers" (which no longer means "red numbers," which stands for the loss of money) when all revenue has been counted. Or: So big that the traffic gets so angry, called the policeman the day "Black Friday".

How to Find Leaked Black Friday Ads

In recent years, a number of Black Friday sites have dedicated themselves to revealing leaked newspaper headlines in the days and weeks ahead of the big harvest thanksgiving sales. These still exist, but many of the big stores have decided to "publish" the ads on their own websites to reveal the content of deals for bargain hunters who like to plan ahead.

Last year, some stores have already shared these ads by the end of October, and there is no reason to believe that this year will be any different. As always, we'll be watching Black Friday ads and sharing them as soon as we find them. So bookmark this post and check CNET for all relevant ad information.

Where can I find a bargain in the meantime?
